Gin Mare, which falls under the umbrella of Global Premium Brands, is made in the small Spanish fishing town of Vilanova i la Geltrú on the Costa Dourada (literally 'golden coast') in a former chapel which sits in the grounds of the family-owned Destilerias MG. What, I hear you ask, is a chapel doing in the grounds of a distillery? Well, the property was originally a monk's retreat, which the Giró Ribot family bought in the 1950s to house their growing drinks business.
